Learning Study of Japanese Ambiguous Language; “Domo” “Kekko” “Chotto”–Take students of National Kaohsiung First University of Science and Technology as example–

[[abstract]]於日本人間之日常會話中，經常會使用到「Domo」、「Kekko」、「Chotto」。但是，這些詞彙常常會根據不同的語句內容，而表現出不同意思，對於非日語母語者來說，會給人「日語很難了解話中背後的用意及含糊不清」的印象。之前曾經有一位日語很好的台灣友人向筆者問到有關「Domo」及「Kekko-desu」等詞彙的意思，筆者才感受到原來對於日本人來說是相當自然且普通的會話，但對非母語使用者來說要理解其內容的含義卻是相當困難的。 因此，基於有過那樣的事例，本論文將以「Domo」、「Kekko」於日文溝通上會用到的曖昧詞語作為研究對象，另以一般日語學習者普遍能理解並能共同比較的「Chotto」進行問卷調查，根據回答內容去分析同學的習得狀況。 問卷的調查內容，第一部份為基本資料，要求填寫者回答與其自身相關的項目，針對（年齡、出生地、畢業科系、是否考過日本語能力測驗、是否去過日本留學、對於曖昧詞語的理解程度、對教師及教材的需求、未來針對曖昧詞語教育的改善點等等。）去填寫答案以及意見。 第二部分則是進行實用性的練習問題，各以不同意思的「Domo」「Kekko」「Chotto」做例句，並用選擇題的方式請同學們填寫適當的答案。以筆者就讀的國立高雄第一科技大學應用日語系二年級以上的學生作為問卷調查的對象。 調查後的結果發現，因填寫者的年級、畢業科系、日語學習經歷及日本語能力測驗程度等項目之不同，正確回答的比率也有所差異。而根據填寫者的基本資料分析，筆者也了解到，填寫者對於自己是否能夠理解曖昧詞語是相當沒有信心的，對於現有教材不太滿意、比起使用網路教材較希望能使用圖文並茂的教材、針對「曖昧詞語」的改善建議除有需要進行使用場合的說明及會話練習的回答外，並期望能有更詳盡的解說等之回答。 藉此調查能了解到，未來「曖昧詞語」的學習不能只有文法及讀解等一致性的解釋及空有理論的學習，而是要實際在日語會話中使用外，並能在去日本時派上用場且有實務性、實踐性的有效學習才正是現在所需的。[[abstract]]Native Japanese often use ambiguous words such as “DOMO” “KEKKO” and “CHOTTO” However these words have various meanings to each context That’s why those who study Japanese language think it very difficult to understand what these words really mean When I was asked what these words “DOMO” ”KEKKO-DESU” really mean by an advanced student in Taiwan I realized that Japanese people use them easily without thought but it’s too difficult for non-Japanese people to understand the correct meaning Therefore I decided to study them further based on such examples I carried out a survey of these words (“CHOTTO” is easily understood by non-Japanese ) I state the result of the questionnaire and analyze their acquisition The first part of questionnaire includes basic information home town major experience of taking JLPT test experience of studying abroad how much examinee can understand ambiguous words which textbook will be recommended the suggestions for improving ambiguous words education in the future etc The second part includes practical exercises with various examples of “DOMO” “KEKKO” and “CHOTTO” The examinees should select the best answer They were 2nd year students of department of Japanese language in National Kaohsiung First University of Science and Technology We are able to know that correct answer rate is different by the examinee’s year major how long they have studied Japanese language and the level of JLPT test by the questionnaire The analysis of basic information shows that examinees have no confidence in the usage of ambiguous words and they aren’t satisfied with teaching material and feel that teaching materials about words and pictures are better than internet teaching materials Examinees also want to know which occasion they can use ambiguous words and to get more practical exercises for the usage of them and more detailed explanation These facts have made it clear that in teaching ambiguous word we need to consider not only system and logic of grammar and reading but also to teach them in actual situation let’s say in business in daily conversatio
